The Raspberry Pi, an ARM-based, single-board computer system running Debian Linux, has been in production for a few days now, and will soon be available for purchase — $25 for the basic system called Model A, $35 for a system with an Ethernet port, called Model B. The current model has grown a bit from the original “computer on a USB stick“-sized prototype, but it’s still quite an interesting system meant for children to learn more about computer programming and how computers work in general.
